Afraid not. I've tried that, and yes, it is displayed in the sidebar but 
it is a permanent fixture and not dynamically added. I have found the 
bookmarks config too. I'm speaking of the "places" menu in the sidebar 
which shows the home dir, filesystem root, desktop dir, etc- and the 
volumes that are added through the hal/dbus system. How is it done? 
Where is this config info for added volumes stored? Its not in GConf.

Seems this one is a real mystery...
